Before applying to Professional Carers we would recommend you take a look at the sections below which details our open vacancies, our perks, a video about a typical day working in care, as well as information about the training you can expect to receive.
These roles are split into different locations, so please keep scrolling to find an area / role which suits you.
Working in care is demanding, but extremely rewarding and we are looking to hear from individuals with the right attitude and behaviours to match our own values, centred around c.a.r.e!
What matters to us, is that you hold a true desire and ability to show compassion, accountability, respect and excellence.
You don’t need to have previous care experience for some roles [although preferred], nor do you need qualifications to get started. Via our intensive training, induction and mentoring, we will equip you with the right skills and abilities so you can really make a difference!
Good luck.

Our Care workers work in people’s own homes in the community and can support lots of different people including adults with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, dementia and other mental health conditions.
The duties are varied, and no two days will be the same. The people we care for are individuals, and they all deserve to be treated as such.
Duties may include supporting with personal care needs, such as helping them shower or take their medication, as well as helping them to take part in a wide range of special interests and activities that support their health and wellbeing e.g. crafts, watching the football, drama, musical evenings, gardening, shopping trips and social occasions.

Everyone working in social care should have a good standard of English, with a basic understanding of numeracy.
You will need to be able to work under pressure calmly, as well as being able to work as part of a team. It would also be beneficial if you are organised, a good listener and are able to communicate well. Being able to use a smart phone and navigating around apps is also important, as this is how you will document your care tasks completed and view your roster.
You don’t necessarily need formal qualifications to become a care worker. What’s really important though are your values.
We might ask that you have qualifications showing good English and numeracy skills such as GCSE A-C in English and Maths. It might also be helpful to have a social care qualification such as a Diploma in Health and Social Care. Don’t worry if you don’t have these qualifications though – if you’re interested, you can work towards them once you start the job.
When you start in your role, you’ll do an induction, which will then progress onto the Care Certificate – these are the minimum standards that everyone working in social care needs to reach. You will also receive necessary training such as health and safety, first aid and moving and handling, or specific training such as autism awareness,

Beyond this there are vocational qualifications such as a Diploma in Health and Social Care, or continuing a professional development qualifications such as dementia, end of life, or autism.
In addition to this, there may be opportunities to progress into operational roles, such as Care Coordinator, Field Supervisor and perhaps one day into a management role.
